Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad No.1, also known as "Dixiana", is a Class B Shay steam locomotive built in 1912 by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio. It was built for the W.M Ritter Lumber Company. The locomotive was retired in the mid-1950s and was purchased by F. Norman Clark for use on his Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad, where it still operates.
